Immersion Begins Tomorrow

Stacey Shubitz

I’ll begin immersing my students in the literary essay genre tomorrow. I’m fortunate to have had some wonderful students last year who graciously allowed me to share their essays with future students to-come. Hence, I have quite a few literary essays copied, ready-to-go for my students to possibly use as mentor texts tomorrow.

I realized I needed to have some kind of form for them to collect their noticings on. I developed this earlier tonight (it’s four pages total… since I want them to examine at least four essays).

One thought on “Immersion Begins Tomorrow”

  1. I LOVE this! It’s so neat when you collect enough of the past writing of students to share with the present, right? I hope this is going well for you.
